Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 771

Chapter 771: Only feed their resentment

Raidan stood motionless with a shocking gaze. He hadn’t expected such an admission of guilt from a son who usually carried himself with impenetrable pride.

"What are you saying?" Raidan asked.

"I didn’t live up to your expectations," Dominick stated, his gaze fixed on Noah’s small hands as they tugged at his vest. "I failed to understand what a marriage actually requires. Instead of reflecting on my own actions, I’ve spent my energy fighting with my brother, blamed even others."

Raidan sighed. "You could have forgiven Juniper. Why didn’t you?" He stepped closer, his expression softening with a touch of fatherly disappointment. "Casaio forgave Zilia and took the time to understand her. Look at them now. They have moved past their shadows and are finally building a family of their own."

Dominick tightened his hold on Noah, the comparison stinging more than he cared to admit. He realized that while his brothers were moving forward, he was only just beginning to sort through the wreckage of the past he had left behind.

"Because Juniper never once told me the truth. She enjoyed the pain of others, and that is what made me so agitated. The love I carried for her dissipated instantly," Dominick asserted, his voice hardening as the memory of her deception resurfaced. "But I still admit that I didn’t handle the aftermath well."

Raidan watched his son, the sternness in his expression softening into something more paternal. He reached out, placing a steady hand on Dominick’s shoulder.

"You aren’t a disappointment to me, Dominick. If anything, you were simply careless and perhaps too inclined toward the happiness of others," Raidan stated firmly. "You prioritized Cas and Zilia’s peace above your own household. But when you marry, your spouse must become the most important person in your life, the one whose burdens you carry first."

The King took a slow breath, looking out over the stone railing toward the horizon.

"When I look back on it now, I realize you and Juniper were never truly compatible. There was too much hidden between you two from the start," he admitted. "She had a side to her personality that you weren’t even aware of until it was too late. It’s hard to build a foundation on secrets."

Dominick remained silent.

"I saw you with a woman on Kate’s wedding. I think I’ve seen here somewhere, but I couldn’t recognize her," Raidan suddenly switched their conversation flow.

"Ahh, that’s Jeniva Moore," Dominick replied.

"Jeniva Moore?" The name rang bells in his hand as he recalled who he was. "Isn’t that the omega sentinel whom I rewarded recently?"

"Yes, Dad. While working in Gridlock, I met her. The first time I landed there, I encountered her," Dominick stated.

"Don’t tell me you two are seeing each other," Raidan pronounced.

"Dad, she turned out to be my second chance mate. I rejected her because I didn’t want to do anything with her. Even she didn’t want herself to associate with me. But the rejection didn’t work. We ended up feeling each other’s scents and wolves again. That’s why we decided to give ourselves a chance," Dominick asserted as he briefed his father what exactly happened.

Noah babbled a few words bringing both of their attention and found he was fully focused on the buttons.
